Pros

A Hostile and Discriminatory Workplace

Cons

Working at Chipotle has been an absolute nightmare. The environment is incredibly hostile, with zero trust among employees. There is a shocking lack of competence at the management level, and corruption runs rampant. The company regularly awards contracts to their friends' companies on the 13th floor, regardless of the quality of their work. The discrimination against people of color is blatant and disturbing. There is no effort to create an inclusive or respectful workplace. Instead, people of color are consistently marginalized and overlooked for opportunities. HR will only protect valuable staff at the Director level and above. There is no use in complaining to HR. Once you see they are writing you up, make a Plan B and start looking for a new job. Also, make sure to regularly back up your mailbox to an external drive. Overall, Chipotle is a toxic workplace that fosters corruption, ruins your career and mental health, and perpetuates discrimination and systemic racism. I would strongly advise against working here.

Pros

free food while on shift

Cons

everything. I don't know if it is just this location but this has to be the worst workplace environment. The managers are rude and have no issues with yelling at you over the littlest thing. I've worked other jobs with managers that actually respect you, if not as an employee, they respected me as a human being. The managers here are crass. Disrespectful people that see you as nothing more than a worker thats there to get the job done. I've been told to avoid taking a break on long shifts, and if i do end up taking that break, they'll act like I just screwed and their entire family everyone over, while they took a break themself. All of the crew members have expressed how we're understaffed and that its only making our job harder, but the managers just ignore us even though we are one of the top earning chipotle's in the state. On days where we're projected to make more than average, we're always shorter staffed. It'd be one person on grill and we'd always be behind for the day. Work here if you're okay with being overworked and slaved for 13/h.

Pros

Pay and benefits are are “decent”; Remote work conditions are well supported.

Cons

Chipotle spends a lot of human capital making unrealistic financial goals. They have become a “employees are a commodity “machine. If you don’t want to do your job, the unstated plan is that you can be replaced. Minimal value is given to the people that make things happen at this company. The operations within the restaurants have become pitiful in many markets.
